Benny Perry, my husband, was in the Corporate world & we were with Frito Lay for 10 years, then Morton Foods & in 1972 we were living in Plano Texas & opened our first True Value Hardware store. Gradually becoming 3 hardware store in Plano, along with a shopping center, 2 donut shops & a gas station. We ultimately had 30 rental homes in Plano. At ages 45 & 47 we retired & eventually moved to South Texas.
The retirement didn't take, & while we traveled the world, we eventually
went into the Pizza business with our youngest son Chris. It was a huge 10000 sq foot business & did quite well. Ten years later we retired again & moved back to the DFW area, Mansfield TX to be exact. In 2005 Benny died after a 5 year battle with Cancer. I have continued to work to keep busy. Day trading in the stock market & also doing the Bookkeeping for my son's window replacement business & working full time for Dr. Daniel Daves, my nephew in his ministry business. Flax Lignan Health, a natural supplement, while he & his family serve the Lord in Costa Rica. Life has been really good, except for losing my best friend way to soon.
